Senator
Barack Obama has introduced a dangerous bill and it's on the fast track
to Senate passage, probably because of his high profile position as
the expected Democrat presidential nominee. Obama hasn't done much legislatively
in his freshman Senate term, but this one is very telling about what
we can expect from a President Obama.

The
bill is the "Global Poverty Act" (S.2433) and is not just
a compassionate bit of fluff that Obama dreamed up to help the poor
of the world. This bill is directly tied to the United Nations and serves
as little more than a shakedown of American taxpayers in a massive wealth
redistribution scheme. In fact, if passed, The Global Poverty Act will
provide the United Nations with 0.7% of the United States gross national
product. Estimates are that it will add up to at least $845 billion
of taxpayer money for welfare to third world countries, in addition
to the $300 billion Americans spent for the same thing in 2006.

The
situation is urgent because the Global Poverty Act has already passed
the House of Representatives by a unanimous voice vote on September
25, 2007. The senate version has been passed out of the Senate Foreign
Relations Committee by unanimous consent and ready for a full Senate
vote.

Of
course the United States has had an ongoing program of supplying foreign
aid and assistance to the poor for decades. And the U.S. pays most of
the bills at the UN for its herd of programs. So what's new about Obama's
bill, and why is it dangerous?

Some
history that led up to the Global Poverty Act. In 1999 and 2000 non-governmental
organizations, NGOs held numerous meetings around the world to write
what became known as the Charter for Global Democracy. The document
was prepared to be a blueprint for achieving global governance. In reality
it was a charter for the abolition of individual freedom, national sovereignty
and limited government.

The
Charter for Global Democracy outlined its goals in 12 detailed "principles":

Principle
One called for the consolidation of all international agencies
under the direct authority of the UN.

Principle
Two called for UN regulation of all transnational corporations
and financial institutions, requiring an "international code of
conduct" concerning the environment and labor standards.

Principle
Three explored various schemes to create independent revenue
sources for the UN - meaning UN taxes including fees on all international
monetary transactions, taxes on aircraft flights in the skies, and on
shipping fuels, and licensing of what the UN called the "global
commons," meaning use of air, water and natural resources. The
Law of the Sea Treaty fits this category.

Principle
Four would restructure the UN by eliminating the veto power
and permanent member status on the Security Council. Such a move would
almost completely eliminate U.S. influence and power in the world body.
In turn Principle Four called for the creation of an "Assembly
of the People" which would be populated by hand-picked non-governmental
organizations (NGOs) which are nothing more than political groups with
their own agendas (the UN calls NGOs "civil society"). Now,
the UN says these NGO's will be the representatives of the "people"
and the Assembly of the People will become the new power of the UN.

Principle
Five would authorize a standing UN army.

Principle
Six would require UN registration of all arms and the reduction
of all national armies "as part of a multinational global security
system" under the authority of the UN.

Principle
Seven would require individual and national compliance with
all UN "Human rights" treaties and declarations.

Principle
Eight would activate the UN Criminal Court and make it compulsory
for all nations - now achieved.

Principle
Nine called for a new institution to establish economic and
environmental security by ensuring "Sustainable Development."

Principle
Ten would establish an International Environmental Court

Principle
Eleven demanded an international declaration stating that climate
change is an essential global security interest that requires the creation
of a "high level action team" to allocate carbon emissions
based on equal per-capita rights - The Kyoto Global Warming Treaty
in action.

Principle
Twelve demanded the cancellation of all debt owed by the poorest
nations, global poverty reductions and for the "equitable sharing"
of global resources, as allocated by the UN - here is where Obama's
Global Poverty Act comes in.

Specifically,
the Charter for Global Democracy was intended to give the UN domain
over all of the earth's land, air and seas. In addition it would give
the UN the power to control all natural resources, wild life, and energy
sources, even radio waves. Such control would allow the UN to place
taxes on everything from development; to fishing; to air travel; to
shipping. Anything that could be defined as using the earth's resources
would be subject to UN use-taxes. Coincidentally, all twelve principles
came directly from the UN's Commission on Global Governance.

There
was one major problem with the Charter for Global Democracy, at least
as far as the UN was concerned. It was too honest and straightforward.
Overt action displeases the high-order thinking skills of UN diplomats.
The UN likes to keep things fuzzy and gray so as not to scare off the
natives. That way there is less chance of screaming headlines of a pending
takeover by the UN. So, by the time the UN's Millennium Summit rolled
around in September 2000, things weren't quite so clear.

At
the Summit, attended by literally every head of state and world leader,
including then-president Bill Clinton, the name of the Charter had been
changed to the Millennium Declaration and the language had been toned
down to sound more like suggestions and ideas. Then those "suggestions"
were put together in the "Millennium Declaration" in the name
of all of the heads of state. No vote or debate was allowed - just acclamation
by world leaders who basically said nothing. And the deed was done.
The UN had its marching orders for the new Millennium.

Yes,
these are sneaky guys, well trained in the art of saying nothing. Who
could opposes such noble goals? The Millennium Project, which was set
up to achieve the "goals" says on its website that it intends
to "end poverty by 2015." A noble goal, indeed. So what happened
to the 12 Charter principles? Take a hard look - they are all still
there.

Principles
One, Two, and Twelve are right there in Goal 8 - to develop a global
partnership for development. Now almost every world organization such
as the World Bank carries a section on their web sites calling for "Millennium
Development Goals" which control international banking and loan
policy. They set policy goals for each country and sometimes communities
to measure if nations are keeping their promise to implement the Millennium
goals.

Principle
Seven is clearly Goal 3, the only way to assure Gender Equality is to
enforce compliance with UN Human Rights treaties. Principle Eight has
already been achieved. Principle Nine is Goal 7. Al Gore is doing his
best to enforce Principle Eleven. Global Warming, no matter how well
the theory is debunked, just won't go away because it is one of the
Millennium Goals.

And
then there is Barack Obama's Global Poverty Act. Can you see which Principle
that is? Of course, Principle 12 and Goal 1. Obama's bill specifically
mentions the Millennium Goals as its guide and the 0.7% of GNP is right
out of UN documents. In order to eradicate poverty by 2015, they say,
every industrial nation must pony up 0.7% of their GNP to the UN for
use in eradicating poverty.

The
UN is now becoming an international collection agency, pressing to collect
the promises the world leaders made at the Millennium Summit. The UN
wants the cash. In 2005 former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan said,
"Developed countries that have not already done so should establish
timetables to achieve the 0.7% target of gross national income for official
development assistance by no later than 2015..."

At
the Summit in 2000, the UN set clear goals to establish its power over
sovereign nations and to enforce the greatest redistribution of wealth
scheme ever perpetrated on the world. Now it has the Criminal Court;
Sustainable Development is fast becoming official policy in every corner
of the nation - only today we call it "going green;" and there
is a full court press on to enforce Global Warming policy, in spite
of the fact that there is now much evidence surfacing to debunk the
theory.

Clearly,
Obama's bill has been introduced to assure the United States falls in
line with the Millennium Declaration and all that it stands for. After
all, the UN needs the money to pay for its new found power. Truth, science
and American taxpayer interests be hanged. Barack Obama wants to be
a "world" leader.

The
bill is the "Global Poverty Act" (S.2433) and is not just a
compassionate bit of fluff that Obama dreamed up to help the poor of the
world. This bill is directly tied to the United Nations and serves as
little more than a shakedown of American taxpayers in a massive wealth
redistribution scheme.
